Description

An open-access database of forest policy regulation focusing on Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark from the 19th century up to today. The resulting open-access database indicates date of introduction, summarizes the key policy objective, provides links to regulations and has been double-checked by national experts. The resulting database contains a comprehensive collection of public policies and private  initiatives addressing forest management in Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and supranational policies of the EU. It includes the original title, the year of implementation, a short description of the policy, whether it has direct or indirect effect on forest management, and information and links to the original text or sources. The database is an open-access resource available to the community, and intended to be a living document which can be further complemented and updated.

 

Notes

The data collection has received financial support by the NordForsk through the project 'Green forests policies: a comparative assessment of outcomes and trade-offs across Fenno-Scandinavia – GreenPole' (project number 103443) and by SNS through the project 'Transdisciplinary co-production in forest policy research (ForPol) (project number 128)'.
